<br /> <br />rei -\j <br />( )j <br />Irk <br /> <br />ITEM 4.3. <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />FROM: PAT KLAERS, CITY ADMI,,~TOR <br /> <br />DATE: NOVEMBER 7, 1994 ~ <br /> <br />SUBJECT: REQUEST TO PURCHASE WESTERN <br />AREA TOPOGRAPHICAL MAPS <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Surface Water Management projects and storm sewer utilities have been <br />planned and installed in the past on a project by project basis with just a <br />generalized overall concept guiding the improvements. With the opening up <br />of our City engineering policy to allow other engineering fIrms to do plans <br />and specifIcations for public improvements in the urban district, it is <br />necessary for the City to do much more detailed, long range planning in the <br />storm water management area. In order to do more detailed long range <br />plans, the City needs better base data to make logical assumptions and good <br />planning decisions. We have not had good data in the past, and the City <br />Engineer, in his attached material, is suggesting that the City obtain two foot <br />topographical maps for the western urban area of the City. <br /> <br />The fee for this project would be paid from the Storm Water Management <br />Fund. I do not believe that we would recapture over half of these <br />expenditures, but certainly some of this expense could be recaptured through <br />our work with land developers. Staff is recommending this purchase in order <br />to facilitate our planning efforts in the western area. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />P.O.
